don't you have books to press?

considering the value it's insane that you didn't use registered mail.

this example only works if he failed to sell actual Corvettes and not Corvette merchandise.

did you send these registered mail?

Spider-Men #2 - First meeting of Peter Parker and Miles Morales

whoa at that Eerie 7

Seems like the worst platform for buying a comic. Also seems to attract an absurd amount of clowns.

This renewed interest in Spawn the past few years can go away just as quickly as it became a thing.

This book will be found in the dollar box for the next two to three decades.

That isn't what I wrote. The difference in print runs between Batman 656 newsstand and Batman 655 newsstand is likely negligible. Neither of those is going to drive the price of their respective issue and lead the market to favor one first appearance book over the other. The market deciding which first appearance book is THE first appearance book to own is not going to have anything to do with the print run of the newsstand.

Why would I count them? They are a niche and the difference in print run from issue to issue within a title is negligible most of the time.

The value of those two books is the result of them having the rarest variants among all the issues up for consideration as the first appearance. Batman 656 is cheaper than Batman 655 because that issue has no variant, but 655 has the 1:10 incentive. Justice League 31 combopack is the rarest variant of any Jessica Cruz first appearance book. The regular covers are propped up by the price the variant commands. Also 655 was one of CBSI's babies because the owner loved the character, and he hyped that book for half a decade proclaiming Damian to be the next big thing.

The spread between a buy it now price and best offer price is small on desirable books because the seller knows the book will sell eventually for close to the asking price. The number of offers on a listing is visible to buyers, so it puts pressure on any interested parties to either put in an offer close to the buy it now price or to just buy the book outright. If you are on the fence about paying X price for a book it is very easy to convince yourself to pull the trigger if you know that a bunch of other people are also interested, because it confirms the value that you've put on it.

first encounters

This is their entire encounter in issue 1.

Spider-Men #2 remains the most undervalued modern comic.

Since that collection will still be on eBay in three years I guess it's good practice to price it accurately for that point in time now.

If you sell through the GSP once your item makes it to Kentucky any problem that arises is no longer YOUR problem. You'll still have to wait for the case to resolve itself due to eBay's stupidity but you won't lose your case.

The desirable, original incentive variants will be fine, because those books were printed in a volume that wasn't the result of speculation. The vast majority of retailer variants or JSC web store exclusives aren't going to fare well though.

Those are for 9.8 graded copies. The pre-2010 sales data shows exactly what I said - that the secondary market didn't care about those books at the time. If your book is selling for two figures in 9.8 it's a book that is a back issue bin book, a dollar book. For more proof go look at the Hughes thread on this forum - there is 62 pages of it. The thread started in 2008 and yet before the end of page 3 we're already up to 2016. 8 years pass and the thread sees less than 3 pages of posts, on someone you claim was hot on the secondary market since the mid 2000s?

It absolutely is true. You can search this forum and map exactly when various artists and variants became a thing. Catwoman 51 wasn't a hot thing on the secondary market until the early 2010s. And the other Hughes Catwoman covers weren't a thing until several years after that. Incentive variants selling for significant money wasn't a thing pre-2010 despite the fact that they had been around awhile.

The Hughes variant to Supergirl and the Legion of Super Heroes 23 wasn't hard to get, it sat in back issue bins and dollar boxes for over half a decade. There was no secondary market for Hughes covers until the early 2010s.
